Lizard Lighthouse, Historical lighthouse in Lizard Point, England.
The white octagonal lighthouse towers rise 19 meters above the cliffs of Lizard Point, providing essential navigation signals across the English Channel.
Trinity House assumed control of the dual-tower lighthouse in 1771, marking a transition from private ownership to professional maritime safety management.
The Heritage Centre, established in 2009, displays original equipment and instruments that demonstrate the progression of maritime navigation through centuries.
The east tower continues to emit white light flashes every three seconds, with a visibility range extending 26 nautical miles across the water.
The west tower of the original twin-tower design ceased operations in 1903, while the east tower underwent automation in 1998.
